Can anyone provide info on a nice 1 bedroom villa w/ pool or spa located outside of Cruz Bay. Not too close to town, but not a 20 minute drive either. Budget of $900-1300.
Also, car rental would be cheaper on St. Thomas vs. St. John? Thanks.

The car rental question ( St. Thomas vs. St. John ) comes up both here and USVI On-LIne. We had to turn in a Jeep Libety with a mechanical problem on St. John. Had we rented on St. Thomas that day would have been wasted. Follow this recent thread:

There are some decent condo's Cruz Views overlooking Cruz Bay. You can walkdowntown but I would not try walking back up the hill!! Small complx with a pool and was very quiet when we stayed there. Priced right!

you might be able to find something in the off season for that price

There isn't much along the lines of 1 BR villas on STJ. Agencies normally price the villas on amentities, location and number of guests. So you can get a 3 or 4 BR villa for 2 people at a very discounted price. I'd check Gallows Point Resort just out of Cruz Bay. A short walk (flat) into town and most units are harbor or ocean front. Nice property! Off season rates are less than $250/night. www.gallowspointresort.com.
